Following the postponement of Euro 2020 for the summer of 2021 and after internal monitoring, as well as discussions with partners, the UEFA Executive Committee today decidedthat the tournament will still be called Euro 2020.

This decision allows UEFA to retain the original vision of the tournament to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the European Football Championship (1960-2020).

It will also help to remember how the entire footballing family has come together to respond to the extraordinary circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic and the difficult times that Europe and the world have experienced in 2020.

This choice is in line with UEFA's commitment to make Euro 2020 sustainable and not to create additional treatment options. By the time the tournament was postponed, many branded products had already been produced. Changing the name of an event would mean the need to re-release all goods.
